The applicable subheading for antler in capsules will be 0410.00.0000, HTS, which provides for Edible products of animals origin, not elsewhere specified or included. The rate of duty will be 1.1 percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for antler in sliced and powdered forms will be 0507.90.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Ivory, tortoise-shell, whalebone and whalebone hair, horns, antlers, hooves, nails, claws and beaks, unworked or simply prepared but not cut to shape; powder and waste of these products: Other. The rate of duty will be Free.
Articles classifiable under subheading 0410.00.0000, HTS, which are products of Canada, are entitled to duty free treatment under the North American Free Trade Agreement upon compliance with all applicable regulations.
